Brand GINORI 1735/Richard Ginori (Italy) GINORI 1735/Richard Ginori is a top brand representing Italy's ceramics manufacturer and enjoying immense popularity. In 1735, Marquis Carlo Ginoli, who was well-versed in mineralogy, personally researched clay and coloration to build a porcelain kiln in Italy comparable to the Royal Saxon Porcelain Factory, and established a kiln in his own estate near Florence, Doccia. During the era of the second Lorenzo Ginori, various types of porcelain were imported from abroad and repeatedly improved, resulting in the creation of white porcelain praised as the "White Skin of Tuscany."
